1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.

2 He said,

3 For you threw me into the depths,

4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;

5 The waters surrounded me,

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.

7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD.

8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.

10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
